At a minimum, there are more multi-word identifiers than there are statements involving subtraction. Further, '-' is basic, while all of [_A-Z] are not.

Ergo, a multi-word-identifier is easier to type than a multi_word_identifier or a multiWordIdentifier.

The older I get, the more I like Cobol, and now *ML, for getting this stuff right.
